Azeroth

The planet of Azeroth has two moons.[1][2][3][4] Various cultures may have different names for them, but usually they play on a mother-and-child theme, as the white moon is much larger than the blue one. Once every four hundred and thirty years,[5] the two moons come into perfect alignment in an event called the Embrace.

The Pale Lady

The Pale Lady is one of the moons orbiting around the shattered orcish homeworld of Outland,[12][13] and the unshattered Draenor in the alternate timeline.

The orcs used to refer to the Pale Lady in a respectful way, as to a feminine entity of some importance, thus recalling their shamanistic heritage (significant since the storyteller is supposed to be the WarchiefThrall).

Smaller moon

Draenor also has a second, smaller moon. It appears closer to the planet than the Pale Lady, but is far darker.

Other celestial bodies

"As the Warlocks began their incantations to access the power of the rift, a howl began - low at first, then rising in pitch like a darkwolf baying during the bloodmoon")[14]

It likely refers to the red color a fullmoon can take, but it is unclear whether the moon she refers to is the Pale Lady of Draenor, or the White Lady of Azeroth, or another one of the celestial bodies that appeared over Outland after it entered the Twisting Nether - perhaps just the "rosy sphere" mentioned in Beyond the Dark Portal.[13]

Other spheres now exist as well, including a rosy one, and a smaller, light blue one.[13] These may, however, be other planets, seen through "windows".[15]

One of the new spheres in the skies of Outland.

Likely the rosy sphere and the small bright blue sphere that appeared after Outland entered the Twisting Nether.[13]
